All Save Mart Supermarket stores (i.e., Save Mart, S-Mart, Lucky, and Food Maxx) accept legitimate and current manufacturer coupons, and printed Online/Internet coupons. The Company and its Store Managers have the right to accept, decline, or limit the use of any manufacturer and/or digital coupon or offer. This includes prohibiting a shopper from clearing a shelf of product, via multiple coupons, as it deprives other customers of bargains on products they are seeking.
This policy applies to Save Mart Supermarkets Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries in the USA. Save Mart reserves the right to alter this policy at any time in its sole and absolute discretion.
